Project Objective

Reimagine 1st Summit Bank's mortgage process end-to-end and implement automation wherever practical — leveraging existing Encompass® functionality to create a more efficient, scalable, and frictionless mortgage origination experience. This engagement redesigns the borrower journey, modernizes front-end customer interactions, automates qualification and decisioning, establishes differentiated service models, strengthens quality controls, and creates a standardized operating framework across all ten workstreams — from digital borrower experience through controls and risk management.

MWP Approach & Capabilities

Best Practice Workflows

MWP brings proven Enhanced Conditions workflows refined across prior Encompass® migrations — not a from-scratch build, but a configuration grounded in what already works for lenders like Toll Brothers.

Existing Rule Sets & Mapping Guidance

Pre-built condition rule libraries and document mapping guidance are brought into the engagement and tailored to Toll Brothers' loan types and product mix — accelerating the build instead of starting from zero.

Automation Support

Conditions are automatically triggered, populated, and cleared based on AUS findings and matched document types — reducing manual UW and processor touches on routine files.
